    When using airmon-ng, my wireless adapter is recognized but driver and chipset arent

    I dual-boot with Mac OSX. I use the TP-Link WN822N wireless adapter. I am able to access the Internet. However, the fact that Kali doesn't recognize the chipset prevents it from making a "mon0" when trying to go into monitor mode.

    # airmon-ng

    Any reasons why Kali doesn't recognize my wireless adapter?

    That's odd. Have you tried doing running airmon-ng start wlan0 to see if you get an error? Is the card listed as being compatible with the aircrack-ng suite over at aircrack-ng.org?

    Have you tried sniffing packets using Wireshark? Does that work?
